Jay Inslee has proposed dramatically increasing the fish consumption rate that drives clean water standards in the state.</p><p>Inslee said Wednesday he plans to set the fish consumption rate at 175 grams a day, which would protect people who eat about a serving a day of fish. Current water quality standards assume only one serving of fish per month, or 6.5 grams a day.</p><p>Wed, 09 Jul 2014 20:12:01 +0000Monica Spain & Associated Press17650 at http://www.kplu.orgInslee Proposes Higher Fish Consumption Rate As Part Of New Clean Water PlanState to Lay Out Options for Clean Water, Fish Consumption Updateshttp://www.kplu.org/post/state-lay-out-options-clean-water-fish-consumption-updates

So when people eat it, their health might be at risk. That risk increases with more fish in&nbsp;their diet.&nbsp;</p><p>Right now, the state Department of Ecology officially assumes that people eat only about one meal of fish per month—a standard that’s known to be outdated and insufficient to protect human health.</p><p>Wed, 06 Nov 2013 02:59:36 +0000Bellamy Pailthorp10850 at http://www.kplu.orgClean Water Suit Alleges State's Fish Consumption Rate Outdated http://www.kplu.org/post/clean-water-suit-alleges-states-fish-consumption-rate-outdated
